Drua can create something from nothing – James O’Connor

Drua can create something from nothing – James O’Connor

Fijian Drua

The Queensland Reds understand that they will be going up against a different Swire Shipping Fijian Drua side in their Shop N Save Super Rugby match this afternoon but are ready to take on the challenge.

Fly-half James O’Connor, says the Reds' game plan does not change too much, but for them, they will have to adapt to how the Drua plays.

He says the Drua can create something from nothing.

During their first meeting last year, the Drua managed to pull off one of the most memorable plays, scoring three tries in 15 minutes, and they will be hoping to lift their game standards this afternoon.

The Reds will meet the Fijian Drua at 5 pm today.

In another match, the Highlanders will face the Western Force at 2.35 pm today.
